Prolific writer J. Michael Straczynski has graced nearly every corner of the Marvel Universe with his masterful storytelling skills, including acclaimed runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Thor, Fantastic Four, and more. Starting this January, follow Straczynski to wherever his imagination takes him next as he pens a new line of standalone one-shots that costar two Marvel icons of his choosing—either in unexpected team-ups or action-packed showdowns!
Straczynski’s new one-shots invite all fans—new and longtime readers alike—to enjoy timeless and rousing stories featuring some of today’s most beloved and talked about Marvel characters. Joining Straczynski will be a lineup of incredible artistic talent: Will Robson, Bernard Chang, Elena Casagrande, Germán Peralta, Juan Ferreyra, and Phil Noto.
Straczynski and Robson kick things off with a cover by Gary Frank in Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon where Doom does the one thing he never wants to do: ask for a favor! What awaits Rocket in Latveria? Mischief, miscommunication and an emotional journey across space and time in the Mighty Marvel Way! Following that, Volstagg recruits the Sentinel of Liberty in Straczynski and Chang’s Captain America & Volstagg featuring a cover by Terry Dodson. When a war breaks out in the Nine Realms, Volstagg of the Warriors Three turns to the only man skilled enough to end it: Steve Rogers, Captain America!
In March it’s Nick Fury vs. Fin Fang Foom with Straczynski, Casagrande, and a cover by Gary Frank. May features Hulk & Doctor Strange with Straczynski and Peralta with a cover by Terry Dodson. June has Ghost Rider vs. Galactus with Straczynski and Ferreyra and a cover by Terry Dodson. Finally, in June it’s Spider-Man vs. Doctor Octopus with Straczynski and Noto with a cover by Dodson.
See all the featured characters on a special promo piece by Leinil Francis Yu, which will also be available as a variant cover by Doctor Doom & Rocket Raccoon #1, along with the covers for the first three one-shots.
